The New York Rangers will continue their 2013 NHL playoffs series against the Washington Capitals with Game 3 at Madison Square Garden. The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. ET. Here are four lines about the matchup:

• No offense, but...The Rangers need to find a way to get on the board, plain and simple. They've scored one goal in the series, a puck that went off the skate of Capitals defenseman John Erskine. So it's time for the Blueshirts to rediscover the team that scored four or more goals eight times in April.

• Could Ryane Clowe be back in the lineup? The forward (undisclosed injury) skated yesterday in a regular practice jersey, so it's certainly possible he'll be back on the ice for the first time since Apr. 25. If so, he'll give New York a physical boost and some help on the scoreboard -- in 68 career postseason contests, he's scored 18 goals and 45 points.

• Other changes to the roster could be coming. John Tortorella said he's going to tinker, according to Pat Leonard of The Daily News. It could simply mean Clowe is back in. Or it could mean entirely new line combinations, or some surprise scratches. It's all speculation until game time.

• Welcome back to the world's most famous arena. Playing in front of the Blueshirts' home crowd should help fire up the Rangers. But it's going to take more than that -- a repeat performance from Henrik Lundqvist, an improvement on the power play and an increase in the number of quality chances on Braden Holtby tonight will make all the difference.
